Car Sound Effects UAZ 315195 Play Track 371 sounds included $259

A rough, tractor-like rumble of the engine with pronounced low-note vibrations, while on the outside you hear the mealy, rolling sound of a reliable vehicle, especially from a standing start. This is the successor of the legendary UAZ-469, and the engine finds itself sonically as one that aims for the eternal compromise between military reliability and civilian comfort. The sound is rough, with an iron accent, as if the modern system is assembled from the hardy parts of yore.

To capture the sounds of the UAZ Patriot, a carefully selected set of microphones was used to record all the key details of the vehicle. The engine was recorded with a Neumann U 87, while the exhaust was captured using an Electro Voice 868. Inside the cabin, sounds were recorded with two microphones: a Shure 57 and a Neumann KM 184 for the front section, and a Sennheiser SPM 8000 for the rear area. External pass-by recordings were made with Oktava and Sennheiser MKH-416 microphones, and additional external spot recordings (Spot A) were captured using Neumann U 87 and Sennheiser MKH-416. This comprehensive approach allowed us to create a full and vivid sound portrait of the UAZ Patriot, reflecting its character and dynamics.

The sounds of a modern motor that knows its roots!

Car Sound Effects Formula 3 Tatuus FA010 Play Track 133 sounds included $179

The recording of this powerful fireball of a race car was performed on a specialist chassis dynamometer system to give you the most realistic and immersive sounds possible. The library includes the characteristic roar of the engine, its start, its revving, idling, dynamic acceleration, and spectacular braking at different speeds, as well as the sounds of gear shifting and engine cut-off.

In our special set-up, we rigged the following microphones to capture the engine, one of each of the following: Electro Voice RE-20, Neumann U 87, Sennheiser MKH 416, Shure SM77, Telefunken M81, and a Violet Design Amethyst Vintage. As for the exhaust system, a Sennheiser MKH 416, Neumann U 87, and Sennheiser SPM 8000 were deployed.

By recording in what can rightly be called laboratory conditions on the whirring dynamometer, we believe that here in the files are possibly the most faithfully accurate recordings of a race car ever captured for sound industry purposes, getting you as close as never before to a Formula-level racer as it really sounds in performance mode. Vroom vroom!

Pole position for audiophiles!

Car Sound Effects 1992 Mazda Miata NA Play Track 200+ sounds included, 115 mins total $99

This library includes 168 192 kHz 24 bit high fidelity files including long drives through streets and on the highway. Create your own mixes with multiple recordings of the same instance using different mics strategically placed around the car! Choose from mixing the mono exhaust mic, an exhaust mic plus a mid-side mic in stereo, an engine mic, and a cabin mic! The possibilities are endless with this level of variety and control to choose from. You’ll get stereo drive bys from 10 to 50 MPH from left to right and right to left, accelerations from 10-60 MPH using multiple mic placements, street driving and highway driving up to 80 MPH with multiple mic placements, drive ups, idling, gear shifting, engine revs, some tire screeches, stalling, and various unique sounds around the vehicle like motorized pop up headlights, manual window cranks, a pressurized gas cap, putting up and taking down the top, and more! Relive your peak 90’s self with this classic 1992 Mazda Miata NA Stock sound library!

Note that some of the cabin mic recordings have significant wind distortion due to radio antenna. While this is authentic for the car, it is still a distracting sound. Rather than leaving it out entirely, or removing all of the wind distortion parts, or altering those files, I left them in as is because a good amount of the cabin recordings are usable and I didn’t want you to miss out on that perspective!

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!

A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.

And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.

The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.

I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!

Charles Deenen

Director, Digital - Source Sound Inc.

A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
